Wondering how fast you're running? Use this calculator to find your average pace per kilometer and plan your training or race strategy more effectively.
Your running pace — typically measured in minutes per kilometer — gives you valuable insight into your performance, whether you're training, racing, or recovering. A consistent pace helps you build endurance and monitor progress over time. This calculator makes it easy: just input your distance and total time, and you'll instantly get your average pace.
Understanding your pace can guide training intensity, race planning, and even help prevent overtraining. Here’s a reference table with estimated pace ranges and what they typically indicate:
| Pace (min/km) | Category | Typical Use |
|---|---|---|
| > 7:00 | Very Easy | Warm-ups, recovery runs |
| 6:00 – 7:00 | Easy | Long runs, base building |
| 5:00 – 6:00 | Moderate | Steady pace training |
| 4:00 – 5:00 | Fast | Tempo runs, race pace |
| < 4:00 | Very Fast | Intervals, elite race pace |
Use this table to understand where you are and where you want to go. Whether you're building endurance or targeting a new 5K PR, pacing is your best training companion.
